Best snack ever. Neighbor and I made 15 pounds of rough dice head cheese. Served on molasses rye with a smear of horseradish-beer mustard. Also along with was a couple slices of kielbasa krakowska sucha from her polish gramma.

gently caress. That looks so good. Polish food is delicious, particularly their cured meats and poo poo. Get more.

Half of it ended up on my rolling mat, forcing me reroll them by hand though. Still not bad for a first attempt ever I'd say!

I made California maki rolls!



These are actually my second batch of sushi rolls ever, my first were earlier today (spam musubi rolls, also awesome). Why did nobody tell me making maki rolls is hideously easy? It's probably more annoying to make hamburgers for dinner. Now to hone my technique (lesson #1: wait for the rice to cool or you burn your hands and get ugly misshapen lumpy rolls).

You need to get a bamboo pad so you can make those rolls nice and tight.

Making sushi is a great social activity. Add in some booze and just a table of ingrediants and you got yourself an awesome party.

I've never tried head cheese before but that looks drat good.



Had a dinner party last night:



Pumpkin and harlequin squash soup, with garlic and sage crouton, porcini powder, pumpkin seed, parmesan and chive;



Kale, broccoli and ricotta open ravioli, crispy quails egg, shaved asparagus, crispy tarragon and tarragon cream sauce;



lemon cheesecake, pomegranate and limoncello sauce (under everything else), pomegranate seed, oat biscuit crumb, and lemon sherbet.


Photos could have been better (likewise, not hugely happy with the presentation of the main, but ended up a bit rushed), but everything was delicious.

At what temperature did you roast these at to get them like that after 40 minutes? I had them at 150C and came back after half an hour to find they were probably over done with a couple that were burnt

I actually had it higher, I think about 375F if I recall. About 40 minutes, but I tossed them every 10-15.

Lots and lots of mussels. I don't have a big bowl so I was serving them out of that pot, which worked well. That's the first of 3 servings, we loving crushed 3 lbs like it was nothing. White wine, garlic, lemon zest, and saffron at the bottom of the steamer, dropped butter on top of the mussels at the 3 minute mark and let them go another 2. Pop some chunky bread under the broiler for that last 2 minutes and serve. gently caress precision, it kills a cheap bottle of wine so just pour / swig / pour / swig for that, mince garlic until you're tired of it, and put in saffron until your wallet says NO MAS YOU SPOILED SON OF A BITCH.

Ours has like, STUFF, but the prices are all jacked way the hell up because hipsters will gladly pay three-fifty for a can of coconut milk if it makes them feel more worldly. Anyways, more sushi:

Definitely could've used the bamboo mat on those spam musubi maki rolls, which were kind of cobbled together from the leftover scraps of rice and nori.

i was lazy so i did a super simple roast chicken tonight. sprigs of thyme and a lemon shoved up its rear end, salt and pepper sprinkled liberally over it along with some of the leftover thyme. oven @450 for 45 minutes and done





poured the drippings into a sauce pan with a splash of white wine, the pasty pulp from the cooked lemon, and one of the springs of thyme + some honey. whisked & reduced, poured over sliced breast meat

I've been cooking birthday lunches for my Dad for a few years now. This past Sunday was this year's (belated) birthday lunch and I managed to snap a few pictures.

My apologies in advance for the pictures, since I am not only bad at picture-taking, but I also had hungry relatives to feed in a hurry.

Main was Beef Wellington (which was tasty but overcooked since I underestimated carry-over heat).


With Braised Leeks (which were unfortunately a little undercooked).


And Roasted Brussels Sprouts.


Berry tart for dessert.

The breasts are on one side of the chicken. The backbone is on the other side. Much like you, presumably. There's really no meat to speak of on the back side there. Roasting it with that side up is weird because then the skin on the breasts will stay soggy and not get brown and crispy like that skin is. a little of what you see there is on the thigh, but still not enough to make it worthwhile to sacrifice the skin on the breasts for.

I had been told somewhere, and this may be total bullshit, that roasting it with the breast down keeps it from cooking out less dry than not. Of course brining, cooking / butchering method and cook time / temp probably matter far more than that.

Anyone else hear this before? Wives tale? Actual thing?

Sure, if you overcook your roast chicken. Don't overcook it.

This looks amazing. Did you bake them before throwing them on a pan for a sear or were they done entirely on pan?

Lamb is best rare/med-rare, and these were thin chops. Cooked about 90 seconds a side on a hot cast iron and rested for 5 minutes under some foil. Tender and delicious.

The one thing I really love about colder weather is making braised dishes over the weekends. They warm the house, make it smell good, and almost always make great leftovers.

It was chilly this past weekend, so I made my current favorite braised pork shoulder recipe with mashed potatoes.
